First Fireworks at home.

[HOG maniac]

Little one is four now and asked for fireworks at home. Its surprising what a big smile a few quids worth can bring.

A big kid but at least an honest one.

managed to get ours done just before the rain and wind swept in. Even the dog enjoyed them (or all the food ) and is now snoring his head off !

I also did fireworks 'at home' with children for the first time using Strawheads kids!, meant to take some shots but was to busy having fun being irresponsible with explosives.....we also had lasers and mirrorball set up and the kids had a fantastic time 'wow its a tunnel' etc....and running in and out of the beams...Peter (2) thanked me on Saturday afternoon (while we were cuddled up on the sofa reading about Mervyn Mouse) for the 'dancing lights'....all in all a superb weekend as 'Mad Uncle Chris', almost wish etc... but then I got a whiff of young Peters nappy...

It took that long and gallons of petrol to get the bonfire going over at Natras village we f**ked off to the pub lol !!!!!

Then by the time we were ready for going back to it it was blazing so much we thought we'd stink of smoke going into town so we gave it a miss

good to see you had a fab time hog maniac

We had a great night on Saturday with our fireworks.
One particular large, very large, large rocket blew up on the launch pad rendering me partially blind from the flash for about 5 minutes.

After the smoke, sparks and the rest of the explosion died down my pal was also floundering around partially deaf and seemingly somewhat incoherent. The blast had blown the out house door in and my pal was in a fit of panic asking if was on fire, but alas, I couldn't see him properly, finding the whole experience quite amusing.

It happened so unbelievably quickly, though after few minutes later we dragged him inside stripping off his melted jacket, and found the explosion to have burnt through his sleeve melting the skin on his forearm as well as creating significant burns all down his chest.

Rather than prizing the moulten plastic jacket off the burns round his neck with a rusty old pair of pliers, we took him to hospital where he was promptly treated.......

It was an experience, and shows the clear dangers of intentionally igniting small explosive devices in your back garden.

The worst part was it really put me off me pie & pea's.....

He's a lucky man, it could have been a lot worse for the pair of us.

Glad all ok mate, but how many times have we been told to check there are no Hedgehogs near the fire and now you know why
